So I use Pro Tools, and everytime I create a plugin instance of concussion, it begins to lag pro tools, pro tools start to freeze, everytime I save, it like pro tools freezes, and the more instances of concussion I make, the worse it gets.
My PC has 32Gb of Ram, i12700h processor, RTX 4060 gfx card, 2 x nvme SSD drives and I’m using windows 11 Pro 64bit.
I can run many other plugins in parallel, and I have no issue. My ram is not maxing out even having multiple concussion instances running, so I don’t think it’s a memory issue, it seems to be a processing issue, running heavy instructions or something taking a while to be treated by the CPU.
I was trying to finish the composer challenge for concussion, but it is now becoming impossible with my pro tools freezing every 10 - 20 seconds.
They do recommend not having more than two instances of the plug-in running at once. This seems fair enough considering you can load up to 8 drums in one instance and mix them independently.
That being said, I was having serious issues running just one instance in Pro Tools in a way I had not experienced with VSTs that are heavy on CPU. There has been an update now with some work on performance. Hope that sorts it out.
Hey,
I’m not currently able to find your support ticket.
Please do re email us and we can try help you there.
Crow Hill does not monitor this space for customer support but we are very active on our emails.
What did you do to resolve the issue? I originally had Concussion Drums, Small String Gestures, and String Murmurations installed on my Presonus Studio One 6 Pro DAW, and they were working. However, the second or third time I went in to use the Concussion Drums, there started to be issues and it seems that Studio One was rejecting it and would not load it. These plugins started to be put in the “Blocked” bin of Studio One and I would keep removing from that and try to see if they would load up, some how. Eventually, Studio One started rejecting the other two plugins, as well. I went back and forth with Studio One, and Crowhill, and now, again, I am inquiring with Studio One about it. After two updates of my DAW, there is nothing allowing these Crowhill plugins to load and work. Yesterday, I used the Crow Hill app to uninstall these 3 plugins, and then selected to only install VST3, and I installed these, again.
So far, today, when I start my Studio One up, it stalls on Concussion Drums and after a long time, it still is acting like it is working on Concussion Drums(?). If I click on the option to “Skip”, then the Studio One continues. I didn’t see Concussion Drums in the “Blocked” bin, but it is not showing in the “Instruments” list. Am I supposed to access these plugins another way, like by going to “File”?
I use pro tools, the problem was solved via an update for concussion drums provided by crowhill.
I have zero experience with studio one. Concussion is a massive resource hog, what are your pc specs? You’ll need to find someone on this forum who uses studio one and see if they encounter the same issue.
No offence intended but I think some optimization issues exist with crowhill products.
That said pro tools uses the aax format which is unique, so there could’ve been an issue there.
VST3 is standardized across all DAWs so if it works elsewhere it should on studio one.
I lack information to really help you here.
The only way is to be able to reproduce the same behaviour on another studio one PC or MAC, whatever you are using.
